Cross-sectional design

Generation/ cohort effects
A confound that occurs in cross-sectional design due to different experiences that different generations have
Cohort sequential design
Developmental design wheremultiple samples of participants of different ages are followed overtime and tested at different ages
Small n design
An experiment conducted with one or few participants to better understand the behavior of those individuals
Baseline measurement
Measurement of the haven without any treatment used as a comparison
Discrete trial design
A small n design that involves baseline measurements of behavior as compared with measures of behavior during the implementation of a treatment
Carryover effects
Occur when participants experience in one condition affects their behavior and another condition of a study
A-B-A/ reversal design
A small n, baseline design where the baseline behavior is measured, followed by implementations of a treatment, followed by another baseline measure after the treatment has ended
Longitudinal design
